In the dock, Yong, wearing a black suit, looked composed when the guilty verdict was delivered by Justice Abdul Wahab Mohamed.
In his 45-minute judgment, Justice Abdul Wahab said the court found the victim to be a credible witness, honest and convincing. “The court also agrees with the prosecution that there was no concrete evidence or information that the accused was a victim of a political ploy and had enemies, as raised by the defence, which is baseless,” he said, adding that these arguments could not be proven.
Yong’s lead counsel, Datuk Rajpal Singh, during mitigation said his client was married with four children and was the sole breadwinner of the family. “The trauma that the victim went through will haunt her for life, especially when she was threatened when the incident took place. Justice Abdul Wahab also increased the current bail to RM30,000 from the initial RM15,000 as requested by Azlina with one surety, and ordered Yong to surrender his passportOn Dec 7 last year, Yong was ordered to enter his defence after Justice Abdul Wahab ruled that the prosecution had successfully proven a prima facie case against Yong.
